How to use beckon in a sentence?
Opportunity is often difficult to recognize we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards.
When we have our screens close at hand( or on arm) they are often just extensions of the connection apps we use on our phones, the more we allow notifications and alerts to beckon us, the more stress and anxiety chemicals are released, making us on edge and our mental and emotional systems are flooded with a message that says,' check me now.'.
